This is how you handle your shit when you're out in the country and don't have a municipal sewer system. Everything flows down hill in the plumbing to a 1000 gallon tank where the solids settle. From there the effluent spills into a smaller tank where it is filtered before being pumped into a mound system. Once in the mound it slowly filters back into the ground water. Our own miniature sewage treatment plant.
Got the three year clean bill of health after having the tanks pumped and inspected
.
That would be right. Every three years.
The county sanitarian requires it due to the fractured dolomite limestone bedrock that makes-up the Door peninsula.
No leaking or failing septic systems allowed.
I chatted with this fella as he went about his stinky business. All I can say is .....Whew!
